On my Debian machine using trunk_at_908909 and serf 0.3.0 the timeout is
positive and it doesn't hang:

$ subversion/svn/svn merge --dry-run ^/subversion/branches/1.6.x-r891672/@902803 --config-option=servers:global:http-library=serf
## done=1, num_conns=2, cur_conn=1
## done=1, fetches=2, propfinds=0, t=3600000000
## done=1, num_conns=2, cur_conn=1
## done=1, fetches=2, propfinds=0, t=3600000000
## done=1, num_conns=2, cur_conn=1
## done=1, fetches=2, propfinds=0, t=3600000000
## done=1, num_conns=2, cur_conn=1
## done=1, fetches=2, propfinds=0, t=3600000000
## done=1, num_conns=2, cur_conn=1
## done=1, fetches=2, propfinds=0, t=3600000000
--- Merging r891676 through r902803 into '1.6.x':
U 1.6.x/subversion/tests/cmdline/externals_tests.py
## done=1, num_conns=2, cur_conn=1

U 1.6.x/subversion/libsvn_client/commit_util.c
## done=1, num_conns=2, cur_conn=1
$

I note that 3600000000 + 694967296 = 2^32. Are you using a 32-bit OS?
Have you specified a very big http-timeout value in your servers file?
